By default, your MooseDesk email address – support@moosedesk.com is set as your outbound email address. However, we recommend changing the default address to make your outbound emails appear as if they are coming from your company domain. This would improve the personalization and deliverability of your messages. This article will walk you through the steps to change the default outbound email address.
